Shooting Mode

3Cautions

•Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The camera may in some cases be unable to stitch the frames together perfectly.

•The desired results may not be achieved with mov- ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are in constant motion, such as waves and wa- terfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.

For Best Results

For best results, be careful not to tilt the camera backward or forward or to either side and try not to move the camera while y and + are aligned to form a solid circle.

Printing Panoramas

Depending on the page size and the size of the panorama, panoramas may print with their edges cropped out or with wide margins at the top and bottom or at both sides.
